Cheesy Broccoli-Stuffed Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Broccoli-Stuffed Chicken.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.

2. Step 2

   In a shallow bowl, combine flour and paprika, creating a flavorful coating for your chicken.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your chicken cutlets and place them between two pieces of plastic wrap.

4. Step 4

   Gently pound them to about 1/4 inch thick—this not only tenderizes the meat but also makes it easier to roll later.

5. Step 5

   Season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

6. Step 6

   In a separate bowl, mash the creamy garlic and herb cheese until it’s smooth and inviting.

7. Step 7

   Then, fold in the chopped broccoli and shredded Cheddar cheese, mixing until everything is well combined.

8. Step 8

   This cheesy filling is the heart of your dish, so make sure it’s evenly blended.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to assemble! Spread a generous amount of the cheese and broccoli mixture right in the center of each chicken cutlet.

10. Step 10

    Carefully roll the cutlets around the filling, tucking in the edges, and secure them with toothpicks to keep everything snug and secure.

11. Step 11

    Next, dredge each stuffed chicken roll in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated for a delightful crunch.

12. Step 12

    Heat some olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

13. Step 13

    Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken rolls and cook them until they’re beautifully browned, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

14. Step 14

    This step adds a lovely golden color and flavor to your dish.

15. Step 15

    After browning, transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and let the chicken bake for 14 to 16 minutes.

16. Step 16

    You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.

17. Step 17

    For peace of mind, an instant-read thermometer should show at least 165°F (74°C).

18. Step 18

    Once cooked, carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.

19. Step 19

    Your stuffed chicken cutlets are now ready to impress! Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite.
